How do I only add value only once (+1) and then having it remain an option (not destroyed)?

The issue I am having is that, I need to have several options available (not destroyed) that can be clicked/selected. (a sentence)

If the "correct option" is clicked, that adds +1 to the score (add value).

But since the option is not destroyed, one could continue to add +1 indefinitely to get a huge score.

So how do I avoid that the option clicked ("correct answer") yields more than +1 point.

"Set value" was my go to, but then i realiezed it would mess up the global variable as the game progressed.

Usually to keep track of anything, you'll want an instance variable. When adding 1 to your score, also set the instance variable "claimed" to true for example. Then also add the condition to check if that instance variable is true or not before running that event.

That worked a treat!! Ty!!
